It might not be a girls car but the car is still a female

Yeah...right...as if cars were designed just for males. What "it does'n't look like a girl car" means to me is likely that they have uglied the mothereffer up.

The facelifted R171 with the sports pack is a far better-looking car.

"Not the kind of car you would expect your wife or girlfriend to drive" ????? Are you kidding me? Engage Brain before Opening Mouth. Hate to tell you, but Girls like to drive tight fast rides also. Rethink your verbiage before you post.

I'm keeping my R171 SLK350, at five years old it still looks and feels new, accelerates like a fat lass to the chip shop, and gives around 40mpg on a long run. Yes, that's right, 40mpg on a run and anywhere between 25 to 28 on an average urban run.

BMW always has that ugly look which never seems to change, on the other hand Mercedes consistently improves all the aspects of the car including the exterior unlike BMW.

Girls car, right... looks much like a Clk. And the front end. I do not understand why I am completely against the front end. But it just screams a better made American charger. With a rear end watered down to a Cadillac. love my r170 and r171 styles.
I love the clean look/angle design and what's not to like opened Top. If maybe exterior aggressive angle designing and a stream lined or even a slim front grill air ram integrated. I like the long front ends. But still better than a bmw

You could also argue that a Ferrari 458 or a McLaren 12C look like girls cars.

Well said. I own the R171 AMG 350. Great looking car and just a shade over 5 secs to 60. I owned the previous R170 230 too and loved it. Some of the motoring press manufactured that tag 'girls car'. Total bullshit

I agree, but not just against the current SLK 172. I own the previous model of the AMG SLK 350. I really don't like what they've done with the front of the car. The R171 looks way better. WTF I'd this myth that they've manufactured about a SLK being a girls car? Utter verbal dhiarrea this commentator spouts

Remember, the Ford Mustang was aimed squarely at secretaries when it was released in 1964. So I guess it qualifies as a girls car, too. Tell that to Carroll Shelby, Steve Saleen, and Mr. Rousch. My SLK55 AMG is a force to be reckoned with. If you see me on the street in my "girls car", you better look the other way, lest I embarrass you in front of your girlfriend. //AMG POWER!

z4 is piece of shit in comparison with the new benz slk

slk stand much wider and fat on the street the z4 is almost feminim. And the trunk space is better in slk. Airscarf very hood in spring and autumn for cruising. Also the engine sound is deeper and has more bass. Z4 better gear shifter, idrive navi better, engine better :D LOL
